Very Weird Happenings

very weird happenings

there's something really weird going on because..

it's been brought to my attention (not really, i see it on my own) that a lot of smut in this app under the x reader tags are of.. the underage characters.

im not over here finding these btw, i do (anime) x reader and boom i get some smut here and there and lo and behold the under 18 characters are there..?

was literally just scrolling on wind breaker (the anime) x reader stuff and why are the minors included in the nsfw ones??

its crazy, because i dont want to hear someone go "theyre aged up" or "im a minor too"(pertaining to the readers/writers of said smut) and it doesnt make it better.

ive seen a few, a handful of people, talk about this before and it doesnt just exist outside the anime fandom because it happens to the spiderverse fandom too, most especially with miles morales.

i read this somewhere, from someone who brought up the topic like almost a year ago probably, and they mentioned that unless the minor has a canon aged up or older version of them somewhere in the original source, then its good, for example timeskip!haikyuu or like any other anime who has had a timeskip where the minors also have a canon legal age counterpart. and i agree

(p.s. if yk who im talking about or what the post was lmk bc the credit goes to them)

because its weird to age up a minor character for nsfw purposes and it feels like its getting worse because some of them afaik dont even specify or say that the characters are aged up. are we just keeping them young now??

the whole point of this rant isnt to stop writing nsfw, thats a whole ass genre and people enjoy reading or writing that and i wont shame them for it. i will shame people however, if they still do this genre for minor characters that have never grown up in its original source media, or you still use their minor or non-legal age for it.

im not excusing "theyre fictional characters" either. because it starts here. if you're comfortable with minor characters being written in nsfw or just plain inappropriate stories or scenarios then that says a lot about you. (this goes for art as well actually.)

idk if we can excuse aged up characters for like normal x readers like fluff, angst stuff like that but thats a different conversation. we take this thing step by step

thats all, stay safe children, and idk just.. just stop man. its weird
